thats a bad ass go cart

 

That is just cool as all hell! Some people ask "why", but I'm glad you decided to go with "why not!"

Keep us posted!

 

Looks good, garage must be getting warmer?? You're making more progress!

 

Well it was inevitable, the first full bodied HA/GR. That looks great btw. Neat little single seater, What is the HP going to come from?

 

That thing is fuckin awesome. Like a grown-up pedal car

 

I'm putting an inline chevy in it,probably the 235.

I've got several different manifolds but am thinking a thickstun dogbone.

 

Someone put alot of work into that . If nothing else save it as a work of art.

 

Sweet, I'll be following this one.

 

That is going to be BAD ASS!

 

man that is f*cking RAD!nice work

 

That's just plain cool right there..and power from an inliner beside's.....even better..

 

At first I was bumbed that I lost those tail lights at Rob's auction, but now see that they were meant for that car!! That thing IS a work of art!!

 

Thanks,later I felt like I stole them from you. If I can help find something else I'd try.

 

looks friggin great dick! you are a madman!!!!

 

Damn thats too cool Dick, glad to hear your back at it, the progress is incredible. South Omaha Turds, Rock !!!!!!! Gary

 

Great job Dick. Looks cool.

 

Xderelict,

First off, you're doing good there. A lot of progress since I saw it last winter.

Second, since you are a So Omaha Turd, I think it is only fitting you give it a name calling your creation the "Poopmobile" instead of the Hoodlum

Crusty would like that.

HellRaiser

See ya Sat night I'm driving too, if I can get the parts back in time.

 

"Poopmobile" I'd have to get a telephone booth cab,drive around and wave at everyone,wait, no, thats the popemobile,your confusing me.

 

Beautiful ... A Corvette intake would be right at home !

 

I have three carter yh's on the shelf waitng for the day.

 

Do you have a link to the early stages? Looks like you split up an old sedan to build that but I can't figure out what it was... Really, Who cares! very nice!

click on this link for the rest of the build.

 

I love it when I get to see something extra cool on my homwork break, back to work.

 

Maybe I missed some earlier posts but I'd love an explanation of how the body was assembled . Obviously some old iron gave up a few parts , What and how ?
Totoally nifty effort

 

that thing would be killer with an early jaguar inline six with 3 weber dcoe's. it kinda has an early indy car look about it.

 

Man it looks good in pics too.Iknow it feels good to roll it around for sure . Later Rob

 

Looks awesome, Dick!

Can't wait to see it in person. See ya on Saturday night....

That is amazing. That second shot looks like an old toy.

Have you considered making wheel pants for it? Are you going to leave the frame exposed or add a belly pan? What are you going to use for wheels?

 

Is that made from two doors and a hood from a 49 chevy?
